Washington special to the Indep m
pendent.-Crow Indian Agent vii.
lismson has resigned, 10 take effect
December 3lst. T le resignation, W hich
was called for by the secretary, Is the
result Of Inspector Armstrong; visit.
The latter is now here, but refuses to
make public the result Of his investi-
cations. IL is believed, however, that
he found Williamson had neglected 10
comply with the secretary's order to
advertise the grazing privileges OF the
reservation, leaving the monopoly 10
the hands Of one syndicate. who had
simply privai. agreement rs to their
occupancy. When directed to so lease
the lands, Williamson wrote the sec.
retary couuselling delay, saying the
Indians wanted the stockmeD then on
the ground TO have the gazing. The
secretary made no reply. Armstrong
also found that Williamson had made
n contract giving Mccormick and
McNutt the right to cut hay on the
reservation, though having no rigat to
make such a contract. Armstrong
tore their contract up and made them
pay the Indians 81 per ton for the
hay. Charges Of q personal nature
were also made, that Williamson is
loud, profape and quick tempered.

ker dwelt particularly upon the per-

He denounced IL rs fanatical aud
brought about by politicians who were
catering to the whims Of the churches
and women. O'Connell opened the
closing speech tor the state this morn
ing before large audience. He said
II ws the duty Of every man to obey

out wisdom to the lawmakers. He re-
ferred to Erwin rs the great classical

Attorney Treadwsy as the leading
spirit in the conspiracy which killed
HaddOck. Treadway made a speech
at the saloon keepers meeting Of an
incendiary nature. Arensdorf was the
leader OF the saloon men. They
obeyed him because the others lacked

Keely's Motor.

Inventor John W. Keely has just is
sued printed card of instructions to
those who may visit his workshop dur
ing the hour set apart for visitors. In it
he says: "I am now engaged in what I
term the process of graduating or adjust
ing my engine, by which I mean securing
a regulated and uniform speed or motion
of it. This, when effected, will finish my
work, which will be known s!sthe Sym
pathetic Etberic Motor ard my new
force will then be adapted to commercial
purposes. Visitors will observe, on en-
tering my shop, my power.developing
structure, termed the Sympathetic
Etheric Liberator,' which hangs suspend
ed on the second floor in q tubular ring,
and from which wire ofsmall diameter,
and made of alternate sectors of platin-
um and silver, extends to an attachment
affixed to one end of the shaft of the en-
CINE which 1 am graduating"
He then goes on to explain the advau.
tages of his "liberator," and to expatiate
on the arduous duties he has been COM
PEELED to perform to reach the successful
control of the motor on which he is
working. He repeats the promises he
has made for the last ten years to explain
by diagrams, etc., which be shall publish
to the world, the wonderful mechanism
of his motor-when he has completed his
present process of adjustment.

Late Summer Crops. !.

In addition TO peas there are fow
other crops whose planting may still
continue, success being dependent more
upon seasons. 1t should be remembered
that late planted crops require rich soil
and deep preparation. Forage crops of
corn, millet, sorghum, etc., may still be
made. but will not amount to much with.
out good ground, good preparation and
reasonable seasons. Ifsuch paintings be
made and the plants started off in July,
the August rains are frequently sufficient.
to mature fine yields. We have had fine
success with cat.tail millet sown even so
late as August LIST. The best potatoes for
keeping, as we'll as for planting next
spring, are made from vines set out in
well.plowed, good soil throughout tie
month of July, those planted early in the
month often making as large tubers as
may be desired, and the later, sufficient
ly large for ordinary use and for seed.
There is no doubt of the fact that the
later paintings produce better keepers.
and they are much cheaper, as they make
with much less labor. Plantings of cut
tings on wheat, barley or rye lots are
almost certain of good yield of smooth
far.sized potatoes at very small expense
of labor. Very late paintings should be
in closer rows and the beds not thrown
up so high.-Southern CuNivator.

Flowing in Dry Weather.

If there occur prolonged spells of dry
weather, and the clean condition of the
crop-the absence of grass and weeds
makes it unnecessary to use pow or
sweep for their destruction, the question
will arise whether it is good general
rule to plow cotton field when there has
been no rain since last plowiDg and the
field is absolutely clean Of weed. The
question will occur to any farmer of a few
years experience, and it is certainly q
practical one. Some farmers believe in
plouing deeper as the ground becomes
dryer, claiming that deep plowing will
"bring up the moisture" Now, deep
plowing will "briug up the moisture" in
the sense that the moist soil that lies
several inches below the surface will be
brought to the surface; but we can see
no benefit or advantagein removing the
soil with its contained moisture from the
neighborhood of the plant roots (where it
can do the most good), and bringing it to
the surface to be Immediately dried by
the sun and wind. Our own experience
and observation are opposed to the prac-
tice of blowing field that has been once
thoroughly plowed since any rain has
fallen. 1t may not result in actual harm
to the growing crop, and the latter may
even be benefited, but it is extremely
doubtful if the "game be worth the can.

Our Big Country.

The State of Texas alone is larger than
either the Austrian Empire, the German
Empire, France, Spain or Sweden. CAL
ifornia, Dakota and Montana are sepa.
rately larger than Norway. New Mexico
is as large as Great Britain and Irelards
and larger than Italy. Kansas is consid.
erably larger than Turkey in Europe.
Florida is as large as England and Wales.
Kentucky is larger than Portugal. In.
diana is larger than Ireland or Scotland.
Maryland and Vermont are each but
trile smaller than Belgium. Take it as
whole, the United States are vastly
larger than any European country except
Russia. The land in actual use for
growing corn, wheat, hay, oats and cotton
in the whole country now consists of
H5,5OO square miles, or a fraction less
than the area of the State of Texas.
The entire wheat crop of the United
States could be grown on wheat land of
the best quality selected from that part of
the area of the State of Texas by which
that State exceeds the present area of
the German Empire. The cotton facto.
ries of the world now require about
100000 bales of cotton of American
weight. Good land in Texas produces
one bale to an acre. The worlds supply
of cotton could, therefore, be grown on
less than $4,000 square miles, or upon an
area equal to only seven per cent. of the
erea of Texas.-C Century.

Harrison and the Farmer.

General Harrison, during his months
soiourn at the White House, made him
self very popular, says Ben. Perley Poore.
He arose every morning with the sun,
took long walk, often returning through
the market. On one of these occasions
he bought new milch COW from neigh.
boring farmer and requested him to drive
it to the Presidents house. The General
was there to attend to the animal, and
invited the farmer to take some refresh.
meuts, procured a bowl of hot coffee,
ham and eggs, and continued converse"
ton with him about farming.
The farmer, having finished his break"
fast, remarked to the General:
"You have bought my COW and given
me 50 more than / asked, and good
breakfast besides, bpt if it wouldn't be
too much trouble, l would like to have q
look at the President before I co."
IT am the President" replied the
General.
The farmer at first looked incredulous,
having taken his hospitable friend for
the steward, but convinced of his mis-
take, with much frankness observed:
"Well, General, I voted against you at
the election, but I didn't know you
then" CHICAGO Herald.

boilers, that is good enough. I have
been waiting for that a long time.
When one Of my boys is a skilled me-
chanic and can build an engine, or a
bridge, or railroad, I feel sure of him.
It beats law or medicine and it beats
politics with all its hypocrisy. I met
some good people in New York the
other day-some splendid people-my
old friend Andrew a. II. Dawson had
gathering at his house, and 1 vas
delighted. Mrs. Bryan was there, and
she is one among a thousand. Who of
the southland does not love Mrs. Bryan?
How bright, how pretty, how genial she
was. She is now getting eight thousand
dollars a year as critic for Munro, and
says she does not earn her money, and
feels ashamed to receive it, bat she does.
She is born critic, kind critic and
loves her people. I do think she has the
sweetest and most intellectual face l
ever saw. Well, she was there and SO
was DR.. Hill, the son of General D. a.
Hill, and there was Chancellor Smith
aud Mr.. and Mrs. Malone, of Milledge-
vile, and Colonel Duyckman, of Vir.
ginia, who was the friend of Mrs. FELTON,,
and nursed Howard when he was sick
unto death, and when Mrs. FELTON, asked
him to 60 after DR.. Newman to come and
pray for Howard, he went, and not being
very reverential so far as his knees were
concerned, be asked DR.. Newman to
make his prayer reasonably short, and
the reverend doctor said: GIVE got you
now where want you. You have been
playing offtricks on me, and now I will
make you kneel on your marrow bones
for half an hour" Duycknan says he
never did hear so long prayer, and his
comfort is that Howard got we'll.
Bob Ingersoll writes nice note, but
he had company of his own. l would
have been pleased to have met him, for l
have great respect for him. He lis agood
man. even if he is mistaken. Mr..
Beecher said the best thing to him when
he told him that man with crutchi
tried to cross the street, and fellow
came along and knocked the crutch from
under him and never gave him any sub.
stitute. read that Mr.. Ingersoll says
he will never utter another word against
the Christian religion. Ifit is nothing
but crutch it is better than no crutcb.
T am glad that he said that much, and
wish that he had said it long ago.

Labor and Drink.

The New York Tribune hss an editorial
on the "labor and the drink evil" sug.
gested by Mr.. Powderly's speech at
Lynn. Commenting on the statement
that in one Pennsylvania county, in q
single year, S17,O0O,o0O was spent for
liquor, and it was estimated that
s11,OOO,OOO of the amount came from
workingmen, it says "that may very well
be a just estimate, for it has been calcu-
lated that between s4OO.O0O,O0O and
s5OO,oo0,oOo yearly is spent upon drink
by the workingmen of the entire country.
Looking at the matter solely as one of
profit and loss, how can any practical
man hope to bring labor up to the plane
of natural possibilities while it is being
drained Of its resources by The saloon.
Yet the workingmen's leaders seem to
think that, though the drink evil is for.
midable enough to demand occasional
remonstrance and denunciation, it is not
formidable enough to be made the object
of organized action. This is grave
error of judgment. Facts and figures
prove that American labor suffers from
no external influences a 1.-THE of the harm
which it inaicts upon itself; and it is
equally clear that this self-inaicted
injury often paralyzes its efforts to obtain
release from the burdens which are
imposed omit from without. lfanything
is to be done to stop the fearful waste of
capital, health, character, life itself,
which the drink habit entails, there
must be great temperance movement
within the ranks of labor. Where is The
Peter, the Hermit, who will preach this
crusader"

The Douglassville, Ga, Star tells
the following snake story: "A short time
ago Mr.. Aderhold, of Douglassville, saw
a large black snake drive partridge
away from her nest and swallow the eggs.
A few days later Mr.. McElathers, of the
same town, saw convey Of young part
ridges fly out, one by one, from the
snakes mouth and gather around it.
They had evidently just been hatched
from the eggs in the snakes belly, and
the reptile seemed very fond of them.
Not long after this Mr.. Butler observed
the snake gliding through apatch Of oats
and picking the kernels from the out
heads. After filling its mouth the snake
would drop the kernels on the ground 10
feed the young partridges as they followed
it,"
